Daily Vedic almanac
Panchang describes the character of the day.
Panchang is the traditional Vedic day-almanac. Ritvi surfaces the daily fields that matter most in the app and uses them alongside your personal chart rather than treating the calendar as a generic horoscope.
01The definition
What is Panchang?
Panchang is a Vedic almanac built from astronomical day and lunar-cycle calculations. Ritvi currently surfaces tithi, nakshatra, sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat, refreshed for the user's daily context.
01
Tithi
Tithi describes the lunar day based on the angular relationship between the Sun and Moon.
02
Nakshatra
Nakshatra identifies the lunar mansion occupied by the Moon for that part of the day.
03
Sunrise and sunset
Local solar times anchor several daily timing calculations and vary by place and date.
04
Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat
These are traditional daily timing windows. Ritvi displays them as context, not as guaranteed outcomes.
02How it works
How Panchang fits into Ritvi
Daily almanac data and your birth chart answer different questions; Ritvi keeps both available so daily context does not replace personal context.
1. Start with the day and location
Daily fields depend on the date and on local solar timing rather than on a universal one-size-fits-all calendar.
2. Compute the lunar context
Tithi and nakshatra describe the Moon-related structure of the day.
3. Surface practical timing fields
Sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat make the almanac easier to use at a glance.
4. Keep it beside the personal chart
Ritvi's daily experience can combine the almanac with your stored Kundli rather than turning Panchang into a generic prediction feed.
03Common questions
What people usually ask about Panchang.
Short, direct answers to the questions that matter before you go deeper.
Is Panchang the same as a daily horoscope?
No. Panchang is a traditional astronomical and calendrical framework for the day; a horoscope is an interpretation, often for a sign or a person.
Why does location matter for Panchang?
Local sunrise and sunset vary by place, and several daily timing windows depend on those local times.
What Panchang fields does Ritvi show?
Ritvi currently surfaces tithi, nakshatra, sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat.
Does Ritvi use Panchang as guaranteed prediction?
No. Ritvi positions astrology as reflective guidance rather than certainty, and it does not replace medical, legal or financial advice.
